of course drawing firm conclusions from prison populations would assume many things. but i think, on a macro scale, the US justice system is generally fair on issues of race... even though i'm sure there are plenty of specific cases to point to that show discrepencies.
i'd post more on this... but i don't want to threadjack.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
